How We’re Different

There are a lot of consulting firms. You have options (and the option to do nothing at all). So, why should you choose to partner with us?

We’re Action-Oriented

  • Business people (and consultants) are notorious for finding ways to say something while saying nothing at the same time. Not us. We respect your time, are straight shooters, always come prepared to deliver value.

  • We’ve found that an imperfect first draft is far more effective than an ambiguous idea spoken aloud. We move projects forward by doing, not talking.

We’re Strategy Consultants that Code

  • This limits the scope of the data they can work with, insights they can derive, and depth of findings delivered to a client.

  • Data and analytics without a connection to the business fails to deliver the maximum value every single time.

  • A business-forward mind helps us ask the right questions. Coding enables better answers. Together they drive the most value to our clients.

We Look for Ways to Say Yes

  • When confronted with a problem or request we look for a way to make it happen. We’re not “yes men”, but we’re resourceful and adaptable to make things happen for our clients.

  • We try to get to the root cause of a question. If the answer to the question is no, but there’s an alternative approach we can take or provide, we exhaust every option before moving on.

How We Work

Choosing to work with us means trusting us with your time, business, and strategy decisions. These are a few things you can expect from us when working together on an engagement.

  • The world doesn’t need more numbers, it needs more insights. We’re not just number crunchers. We make recommendations and findings informed by the data that connect to your business and strategy.

  • Sometimes the initial approach to solving a problem works, sometimes it doesn’t. We’re adaptable to changing situations. We’re resourceful in sourcing data relevant to your business. We take the best approach to solve your problem, not the easiest, first, or fastest.

  • We don’t run up unnecessary expenses. We don’t bolt and run when an engagement finishes. Your success is our success, and we work together to solve business problems in a way that’s efficient, impactful, and sustainable.

  • We hold ourselves to a high standard and don’t waver from it. Trust is earned, not given, and we believe that delivering top tier work day-in, day-out is the only way to build successful relationships.
